Tuesday Post 469

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2803 steps; secondly, John Piper's devotional topic from last night's 'What Kind Of Prayer Pleases God?'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Never Give Up' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Friend To The Lonely' but fifthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed ELEVEN MINUTES online after I watch the 6pm news (Nine's) for the 127TH time!! Anyways, events for today?

  • Yay, awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 7:10am and after one pot :P trip, I spend ten minutes beginning a mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me with the patience, perseverance, strength and endurance I need to get through today with, giving PIG mum all the pleasure, all the satisfaction and just suffering for her whenever she decided that only she can be happy and/or satisfied. It doesn't sound very fair, but she's taught me through her actions, if not through her words, that it's enough she's happy and/or satisfied, and I guess whenever that happens, I've just got to grit my teeth and endure. >< *sigh*
  • Pijum, Pearl and I happily cuddle and snore, me waking again for the pot :P shortly after 9am just before PIG mum begins her daily a-THUMPING around upstairs. Soon, she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo and help exceedingly slightly with not just the bra strap but also the tee (since dearest dad's still @ home) before leaving me to get myself mostly independently kitted, which I comply with after giving myself fifteen more minutes first.
  • PIG mum comes back to finish with absolutely nothing bar Elf's AFO straps and both laces before I let her gleefully FORCE :( me to walk to the bathroom and brush teeth. That done, I sit over the loo for one tinkle, wash and dry Era and then walk myself slowly and safely out to the gobbling :P table, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting him push me over.
  • Breakfast is one small bowl of plain porridge with one slice of dry (unbuttered) multigrain (the nutritionist told dad to start eating multigrain bread and PIG mum decided we'd all switch; luckily, it's yummy!) toast, all my usual drugs :P and one full mug of water. Over breakfast, I spent another ten minutes continuing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me get through today okay. I find it's exceedingly important to constantly remind the cruel and unfaithful God that He has no bearing on  my good day whatsoever, that I am perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him, because my good day's dependent on my own good attitude. If only God would remember that ... *sigh* He created the phrase 'live and let live', so why the heck can't He lemme live the free, independent life that I deserve? Okay, fair enough, we all only deserve death because of Him, but why can't He just lemme live the life that nearly everyone else gets to live?? *sigh*
  • After breakfast, Lena (who arrived @ 10am) walked with me back to the bathroom, where I sit over the loo once more. There, I do a stinky unspeakable, also leaning fully against the side rail and finishing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel. Remember, however the cruel and unfaithful God tries to make my day bad for me, I won't let that affect me because my good day has NOTHING to do with Him; I'm perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him. See, my good day's dependent on my own good attitude!
  • After washing and drying Era, I climb into the passenger of RIX, Lena kindly helps me buckle my seatbelt (which she kindly helps with all day) before tootling us off to buy groceries from Pinelands Coles.
  • Actually, PIG mum only had us buy one loaf of multigrain bread for dearest dad! Meaning after I'd bought my once-weekly crackling pork bahn mi from Aunty Lisa, we went back home for lunch. I had my delicious bahn mi and Lena made me one mug of vanilla chai with milk while she'd brought her own lunch.
  • At 12:15pm I climbed back into the passenger seat of RIX and she tootled me off to the NAB for physio with Nikita; unsure why I keep thinking her name's Dakota! XD
  • Physio today: Seventeen lunges for Erf with left weight shift into full standing, stepping for Erf at the parallel bars and ten laps long hallway walking. Today another student helped out; she's from HK! Can't remember her name; maybe Nadine?? XD I tried nagging the Scottish lady (Elaine) to lemme hike the Great Court once and bugged her to shout a hot drink; she says maybe for the 5th week. Fingers crossed! XD
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^
